The screenplay is written by Downton creator and Oscar winner Julian Fellowes, with Emmy- and BAFTA-winning Gareth Neame and Emmy-winning Liz Trubridge producing with Fellowes.
I look forward to this. The previous film wasn't bad, but as others stated, it felt more like a two part episode of the series rather than something for the big screen.

I agree with your analysis of the previous film. I look forward to this one.
I thought the Maggie Smith/Dowager Countess character was written to have died at the end of the last movie. She told Lady Mary she was dying. Regardless, how wonderful she'll still be in this - and inheriting a villa in the South of France! (if I understand the summary correctly). I hope she meets a dashing gentleman.

She didn't die at the end of the last movie. She had gotten a diagnosis that she believed meant she would be dying soon. But keep in mind that it was the 1920s. Not nearly as medically advanced as we are 100 years later. It wasn't long before the time of the film that Dickie Merton had received a diagnosis of pernicious anemia and thought he was dying as well, but it turned out to be regular anemia.

After the last two seasons of the Downton Abbey series, I have thought that there should be a prequel series (or at least a movie) based on the early life of Violet.
We'll see what happens, but it certainly looks entertaining
